Dad Pod Episode 6: Climate Change and Being a Dad

Dan Castrigano sits down with Dan Batten and Dan Brett—yes, three Dads named Dan—to discuss climate change and how that impacts how they raise their kids. Each Dan has one child, whose ages are currently 3, 12, and 18. The trio discusses their decisions to become fathers, how they navigate climate emotions, and what it means to be a good role model.
